Respecting Diversity in Distance Higher Education
A Multicultural and Curriculum Conference

Join us in Flagstaff for the first multicultural and curriculum conference on June 5 and 6, 2003 at Northern Arizona University. Whether your focus is in administrative services, information resources, teaching and learning, technology infrastructure, or faculty development, you'll find opportunities to learn, share, and connect with others in your field on issues relating to delivering a learner-centered, multicultural viewpoint through online course development in an effort to promote student learning and lifelong achievement.

The conference theme for 2003 is "Respecting Diversity in Distance Higher Education."  At the center of the conference are its practical interactive poster presentations that offer valuable tools that will help you assess your readiness for teaching or working in a culturally diverse education environment and offer skills to integrate culture and technology in higher education distance learning environments. Join us on Day Two for a roundtable discussion exploring the changing demographics of cultural differences in an online learning environment and why it is important that we create technology-based, culturally responsive curriculum as well as discuss future trends of  the integration of multicultural curriculum with interactive learning technologies and distance education.  Don't miss this chance to build the skills and innovation you need to keep your institution strong and productive as well as to build a successful and fulfilling career.

From Northern Arizona University, you can take a short ride to see scenic Sedona, Wupatki and Walnut Canyon archaeological ruins, a hike in our beautiful San Francisco Peaks, and only an hour ride to visit the Grand Canyon.
